I've recently retired and I've been doing long distance walks for some years now - this one is the biggest yet though.

Curry and a pint...

20 miles today - Forches Corner to Aller

I was delighted with the length of the walk today - I really cracked on. 

However, despite the length of the walk it was the least interesting bit so far.  To be fair Taunton was good but the rest of the walk really wasn't.

Not that interesting a walk really!

Mind you there is always a silver lining if you know where to look and there was something shining through the dreariness.

There was a village called North Curry - two village greens, a tea house and a pub, what more could you want?

The pub gave me an idea - I thought I'd treat myself to a cheeky pint when I got to Aller.  So, spirits (or should I say ales?) lifted, I found a new spring in my step all the way there. 

Got to Aller and the pub was closed.  Not good!

I'd cry into my beer - if I could get any!

Hope you all enjoy your weekend.

Love to you all, Ray.

Hi ray - Alan's taken a leaf out of your book and headed off to The Oak for a swift one. Plans for this weekend include taking Charlie out to the Steam Rally by the Leisure Lakes and a 60th birthday party on Sunday. Hope your joints and muscles are holding out and that the weather continues to be kind to you.
Take care
Love from the Utleys xx
